global business leaders begin reassessing their ties to saudi arabia stoking pressure on the gulf kingdom to explain what happened to missing journalists. coming up mixed emotions on global financial markets turbulence made its way back onto the trading floor this week the dow managed to bounce back a little bit still closes down around four percent for the week. they say is your business update on how to humphrey in berlin glad you could join me some high profile business leaders are reviewing ties with saudi arabia over missing journalists. ahead of those pulled out of an investor conference in the saudi capital riyadh this month and british billionaire richard branson says he's suspending two directorships links to tourism projects in saudi arabia he's also putting talks to invest in the saudi space program on hold. well a senior u.s. official has told reuters that major u.s.

defense contractors had expressed concern to the trumpet ministration that norm makers would block further on deals with saudi arabia over the missing journalist donald trump had this to say only one hundred ten billion dollars on military equipment and or things that create jobs like jobs and others for this country i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you know they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend to the russia or china or someplace else so i think there are other ways if it turns out to be as bad as it might be there are certainly other ways of handling the situation but i will tell you up front right or i said go to our financial correspondent now yens quarter all in a wall street yen strong says one thing but already some big names in business say that they are reviewing ties can we expect further economic fallout over this case

. you know what we heard is a couple actually of companies also some media outlets like c.n.n. for example but also the president of the world bank decided not to attend this conference and saudi arabia but that is mostly symbolic step of the big question is what will happen to investment and we've already seen it last year that foreign direct investment into saudia arabia plunged to quite a bit and we see the same pattern so far this year a couple of u.s. businessmen decided to pull out of a mess of five hundred billion dollars project in saudi arabia where they're trying to build futuristic cities so there are some signs that this actually does have real economic consequences all right thanks for that yes do you say with us because i want to get your take on a rough few days on of the markets let's first update of you as though in wall

street stocks jumps in early trading on friday recovering some losses from a two day slide a few minutes into the session the dow was up one percent on the final day of a well a volatile week the gains followed powerful earnings reports by leading banks j.p. morgan chase wells fargo and citibank they reported higher profits and said the u.s. economy is strong but echoed comments by the country's treasury secretary he said fundamentals are strong call this week's losses a natural correction in a high market. so back over say yes then yes a natural correction or something more concerning and what traders reckon and how is the day wrapped up. you know what we still do see is a pretty solid and a pretty healthy u.s. economy so it is possible that this might just be a correction in an overall still ongoing a bull market but there are some signs that things could change in the future you

mentioned that some of the big u.s. banks came out with their earnings reports on friday j.p. morgan for example being one of them but the stocks wall was among the bigger the head of j.p. morgan ok me die and he was jamie dimon he was pretty cautious looking at the future with higher interest rates with trading right problems there was higher tariffs and so on and so forth so yes all there are still some warning signs so i guess we still have to wait and see if this horror shows a little blame or something bigger we have to leave it a financial correspondent thank you very much. well this could he help the trade war figures show that china's trade surplus with the u.s. has hit a record high now despite washington introducing tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods in september china exports hit thirty four billion dollars more goods to the u.s. than it imported financial experts warn of global economic turmoil. and

that this surplus is mainly due to energy prices foreign exchange rates and the quality of german products as you have argued before so is there no need for germany to move at all this is a bit of a simplification of my position of course i mean the point i've made before was that it's key to look whether the trade balance is a result of trade distortions of market distortions or not and in the case of germany i don't see these distortions basically the current account is the result of numerous millions of individual decisions especially of course the investment saving balance and then there's a discussion to be to be helt i mean the question is how can we strengthen investment in germany on market based on the market mechanisms and of course public infrastructure also plays a role in this context and this is currently discussed within the government and
